The two candidates running for Illinois’s U-S Senate seat are criticizing their own political party’s nominees for president.
Mark Kirk and Tammy Duckworth had their first debate at the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board.
Duckworth, a Democratic congresswoman, was asked about Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
"She needed to turn over those emails. We needed to make sure that things were more transparent. I do have real concerns," said Duckworth.
And incumbent Republican Senator Mark Kirk was asked about Donald Trump’s 1995 tax returns that were leaked to the New York Times.
"You would obviously, if you’re running for office, want the nominee to pay federal taxes. It’s embarrassing if he didn’t pay federal taxes at all," said Kirk.
Kirk also repeated that he plans to write-in former CIA Director David Petraeus for his pick for president.
